Social Security Number Misuse

Summary

The publication of a Social Security number does not legally change a persons status to deceased. If your Social Security number is misrepresented on credit reports or court records, you should contact the Social Security Administration, credit bureaus, and the Texas Attorney Generals Office. A five-star installment loan on a credit report typically indicates a high-quality loan with favorable terms. If child support is incorrectly listed as such a loan, report it to the credit bureau and the Texas Attorney Generals Office. The absence of a vital for statistics stamp on a death certificate does not change the deceaseds legal status. Presenting a death certificate to a financial institution by someone other than the medical examiner or funeral home director could be considered fraud, depending on the authenticity and intent.
